The Fashionable Times Blog Principal's Message 12.9.18

Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal Daryl Blank.

On Monday, December 10, students will receive their report cards.  Second marking period grades are a combination of the first and second marking periods. 

This Monday, December 10, marks the beginning of the third marking period of the Fall term.  Explain to your children that student grades are cumulative, meaning that all grades count during a given term.  Grades do not start over with the third marking period and there are not separate grades for each marking period.  Third marking period grades and the grades that go on a student’s transcript and seen by colleges are a combination of the first, second and third marking periods. 

One of our showcase events of the school year is taking place next week - our Holiday Windows Unveiling is next Tuesday, December 18.  This windows unveiling is part of our partnership with Barney’s New York and their Creative Ambassador Simon Doonan.  The theme for our holiday windows this year is "Fashion Icons." Our seniors will be showcasing the following ‘Fashion Icons’: Dapper Dan; Christian Louboutin; Rihanna; Diana Ross; Andy Warhol; and Andre Leon Talley.  This list represents the wide spectrum in which fashion impacts our world--through design, influencers (pop-culture), art, and media (magazines).  The unveiling in at 5:30 pm in the school lobby.  All Fashion Families are welcome to attend!  Our Fashion Design students have the Fashion Show, our Graphics and Illustration students have the Senior Art Show, our Business students have Virtual Enterprises and Shark Tank, and this showcase event is a big deal for our Visual Merchandising students.

We are continuing a Fashion Dollars Bonus Program for students who are on time to school.  All students are eligible for the Fashion Dollar Bonus Program. For each day students are on time to school (as determined by them swiping in with their ID card each morning), they will receive $5 Fashion Dollars.  But wait, there's more!  For each day in a row they are on time, they will receive bonus Fashion Dollars. The more students are on time, the more Fashion Dollars they will receive.

Speaking of Fashion Dollars, please encourage your children to deposit their Fashion Dollar tokens.  We need Fashion Dollar tokens as we are running out of them.  We have decided to allow Fashion Dollar balances to carry over until next school year IF students deposit their tokens.  Students do not need to worry about their balances going to ZERO.  We want them back, so we can give them back to students so they spend them on rewards and privileges!!

It is critically important that all HSFI students check their HSFI email & Jupiter Grades everyday.  Every day we send out a daily announcements message that lists all the activities for the day and key reminders.  If students do not read these daily announcements and do not check their HSFI email and Jupiter Grades, they will miss out on some valuable opportunities and not know what is going on in the school.

Thank you!
